The situation of the belt which supplied the western coast in winter, and its excess of precipitation, are also represented upon the cut. The intervening area was not without counter-trade and precipitation--the latter, of course, greatest over the area of intensity--but they were _comparatively_ less, as the tables will show. The following cut and table show the situation of the concentrated counter-trade in March. [Illustration] TABLE IV.
